A Meteor Fireball Exploded Over Michigan And Lit Up The Night Sky In An Incredible Flash Of Light

Metro Detroit and the surrounding areas of Michigan witnessed the night sky light up as bright as day when a meteor burned up in the atmosphere and burst, creating an astonishing moment on video. Residents of Detroit reported hearing a loud boom following the flash of light, which was captured on video across the state. After thousands of confused Michiganders took to social media wondering what just happened, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that it was a meteor fireball.

Several of you have reported seeing a flash in the sky tonight. Ingham County Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management said it was a meteor fireball. Special thanks to Jordyn Boshaw for capturing this video in Clio. https://t.co/RKCZ6zJzyW

Earliest reporting was definitely reported by one of the @WithSpandex commentators, and while I don’t remember exactly who it was, they totally deserve to take credit for letting us all know beforehand. I don’t mind delving into the latter stages of the previous MMC to find out.

Uproxx, give the poster Dave M J credit because he broke that story last night in the comments section of a wrestling post. You can check it out if you want to, totally legit. I’m not trying to diminish your research, just give him a good amount of credit.
